Taxonomy and systematics
editThe lowland tiny greenbul was originally described in the genus Macrosphenus.[3] Until 2009, the montane tiny greenbul was considered as conspecific with the lowland tiny greenbul as the tiny bulbul.[4][5] Some authorities continue to consider the two species as conspecific.[6] Alternate names for the montane tiny greenbul include the green-crowned greenbul, Usambara bulbul and Usambara greenbul.
